TURTLE BEACH

The name of this kilometer-long beach comes from its reputation for attracting sea turtles when they lay their eggs, from March to the end of August. There are 3 types of turtle to be seen here: leatherbacks, which are the largest, green turtles, which are the best known, and hawksbills . In high season, it's also busy with street vendors, attracted by the presence of guests from the Starfish Hotel, formerly known as the Turtle Beach Resort, a large hotel complex camped on the beach.
